Irradiation of an aqueous ethanol solution of poly(1-vinylimidazole) containing AuIII ions with X-rays leads to the generation of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with an average size determined by the pH value of the medium. The results obtained demonstrate a prominent example of the formation of stable ultrasmall AuNPs (<2 nm) at neutral pH.

A novel material based on europium and terbium complexes with a bispidine-substituted benzoate anion for luminescent thermometry in the physiological temperature range was obtained. The obtained complexes demonstrated intense visible luminescence with quantum yields up to 75%, high water solubility, and high luminescence sensitivity toward temperature (Sr = 2.1% K–1).

The Cs2MoO4 single crystal grown by the Czochralski method was characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis and its heat capacity was measured by differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range of 319–900 K. It was found that the single crystal undergoes a phase transition at a temperature of 842 K, therefore it is promising for applications in the temperature range of 319–842 K.

The impact of different electron transport layers (ETLs) based on fullerene derivatives, such as the well-known PC61BM and promising 3-pyridyl-substituted pyrrolidino[60]fullerene (PYF-30), on the electric field-induced degradation of inverted perovskite solar cells has been demonstrated. Devices assembled using PYF-30 and PC61BM deposited from deuterated chloroform exhibit significantly higher stability compared to PC61BM films deposited from chlorobenzene. The main reason for the decrease in the efficiency of the device during aging is the formation of pinhole-type defects in the ETL caused by the agglomeration of molecules of fullerene derivatives.

Molecular dynamics simulation of carbon vapor deposition on Ni substrate in the temperature range from 300 to 1750 K was performed. It was found that at temperatures below 1000 K, ordered carbon structures are most actively formed in the gas phase. At temperatures of 1000–1500 K, carbon rings are formed near the surface of the Ni substrate, and close to the melting temperature, no structures are observed.

The 35Cl nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was first used to study the crystallization of erbium-doped fluorochlorozirconate glass in the ZrF4–BaF2–BaCl2–LaF3–AlF3–NaF system. It has been shown that crystallization results in the increasing homogeneity of electronic structure on chlorine atoms and a narrowing of the NMR line. The glass being crystallized, erbium cations are displaced into the fluoride phase.

Molecular dynamic simulations using QM/MM potentials are performed for the enzyme–substrate complex of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) with the motor protein myosin. Machine learning methods are applied to a dataset consisting of the geometry parameters of the active site in the enzyme–substrate complex to predict the Laplacian of electron density at the bond critical point of the PG–O3B bond being broken in ATP. Using a gradient boosting machine learning model, a mean absolute error of 0.01 a.u. and an R2 score of 0.99 are achieved, and it is found that the PG–O3B bond length is the most important feature, contributing 2/3, while other geometry features contribute 1/3.

The rates of growth of a hydrate film on the contact surface of an aqueous phase and liquid carbon dioxide were studied. In 0.1% solutions of humic acids, the film growth rate was lower by a factor of approximately 4 than that in pure water and a 0.1% solution of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Possible reasons for the decrease in growth rates are briefly discussed.
